half a month later.
"According to my analysis," the psychiatrist said, "your brother... the current situation is difficult to determine. I suggest you let him decide for himself."
Tan Ruikang carefully looked at the stack of documents in his hand and said, "He is very assertive. He has always made his own decisions. My father and I rarely interfere with him."
Psychiatrist: "The current explanation of homosexuality is divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital includes physiological conditions such as chromosomes, brain structure, etc. According to your description, and some of his own unconscious revelation, your brother should be acquired. Sexual orientation is basically the result of family environment and education."
"The process of male growth requires a rebellious attitude towards his father. When he begins to divide his own territory, unconsciously challenges his father's authority, and is suppressed by his father's majesty, so as to restrain himself, and then on the way of growing up, again Build self-awareness step by step. He didn't quite get there."
"The father's love he lost in this rebellious process was filled by you, so he unconsciously avoided your protection, regarded his father as an imaginary enemy, and began to attach himself to you. His feelings for you come from family affection, in Imperceptibly transformed into love, so I think it should be formed the day after tomorrow. And your brother has a bit of a feminine thinking character, which is not too obvious compared to many gay people."
Tan Ruikang asked: "How to treat the acquired form? Can it be cured? He also wants to be a normal person."
The psychiatrist pondered for a moment and said, "This is nothing normal or abnormal, he is a normal person now."
Tan Ruikang said: "I mean... live like everyone else."
The psychiatrist said: "It's hard to say, it basically depends on luck, I think there are two options: one is to let him go and live his own life with the same sex, try to do his father's work, and persuade the elderly to accept..."
Tan Ruikang said: "No, this won't work."
The psychiatrist nodded and said: "This also involves family members, relatives, and various pressures from society, traditional thinking, these are not easy for a person, even if he can look away, in the future His gay lovers may not be able to look away. Some time ago, a gay writer jumped the Xiangjiang River because of this, which shows that the pressure is also very high."
Tan Ruikang said, "What else?"
The psychiatrist said: "Try drugs and psychological rehabilitation therapy to establish a conditioned reflex that is interested in the opposite sex and subconsciously rejects homosexual intercourse. This is a relatively effective method for treating homosexuality at present."
Tan Ruikang said, "Can you succeed?"
Psychiatrist: "Some people have changed their sexual orientation through this treatment, about 60%, and some people can't change it, it depends on the individual."
Tan Ruikang said: "What kind of drug is it, does it harm the body?"
The psychiatrist said: "There are basically very few drugs, and the ingredients are all natural, which will not cause any harm to the body and spirit. Just look at the slides and give psychological counseling, focusing on counseling. Now there is no such rehabilitation center in Shenzhen. Qingdao has one."
"Each course of treatment is about half a month. If he wants to try it, I have a form here. You can fill it out and bring my analysis report and fax it to them."
Tan Ruikang said: "What do you think is the probability that he can be cured."
The psychiatrist said: "I can't make a conclusion. You have to listen to his own opinion. If he feels that the homosexual process itself needs to be corrected, and he is eager to recover, then there is some hope."
Tan Ruikang nodded, took the report home, and discussed with Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan read the report seriously for a while, and Tan Ruikang said, "Brother, I want to hear your own thoughts."
Yuan Yuan said, "I'll go to treatment."
Tan Ruikang said: "No, think about it clearly, Xiaoyuan, don't force yourself..."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt, does it?"
Tan Ruikang didn't speak, sighed, and got up to smoke.
Yuan Yuan said, "If it can be changed back, it would be best. If not, there is no loss according to the above, right?"
Tan Ruikang's eyes were red and he didn't speak. He said far away, "When will you go to the treatment?"
Tan Ruikang said, "Brother think about it, don't worry."
Yuan Yuan hummed and said, "I still can't let go, I still love you."
Tan Ruikang said, "Xiaoyuan, brother loves you."
Yuan Yuan looked at the form silently, and he made up his mind - to go to treatment, no matter if he was cured or not, when he came back, he would tell Tan Ruikang that he was cured, so that they would no longer have to maintain this embarrassing relationship and let everything go back to the way it was. That way.
Otherwise, even if you don't go, everyone will live together after Tan Ruikang gets married and has a child.
The next day, Tan Ruikang asked Yuan Yuan again for his meaning, and Yuan Yuan repeatedly said yes, he would go, there would be no loss if he went, and he would come back if he was cured. Tan Ruikang was silent for a long time. He checked the Internet, called for consultation, and checked the number of the rehabilitation center. The rehabilitation center was listed under the name of a military hospital for the treatment of mild mental illness, and it was confirmed that it was safe.
Yuan Yuan asked that he wanted to go, but Tan Ruikang faxed the form and information and got in touch with the rehabilitation center. set time.
"I'll buy a plane ticket tomorrow and I'll take you to Qingdao." Tan Ruikang said, "My brother lives there, and they said that during the 14-day treatment period, you can't make phone calls or visit."
"It's only two weeks." Yuan Yuan said, "I'll go by myself, I'll just come back by myself."
Tan Ruikang said, "No, no, I have to send you there. My brother also wants to find out how to treat it."
Yuan Yuan said: "It's really not necessary. You don't do this. Look, you follow me in whatever I want to do. You are always worried. I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle it alone. If things go on like this, I can't help but rely on you..."
Tan Ruikang: "..."
Yuan Yuan said: "Let me go by myself, I always have to learn to be alone."
Tan Ruikang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
Lying on the sofa far away reading a book.
Tan Ruikang asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?"
Yuan Yuan: "Jimmy's "I can only draw a small card for you", I'll take it to see it, fourteen days will pass quickly."
The next day, Tan Ruikang sent Yuan Yuan to the airport. When he was parting, Yuan Yuan called Zhao Guogang and said that he was going to play at a college classmate's house. There was no signal in the mountainous area, and he returned after half a month.
When he arrived in Qingdao, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. The rehabilitation center specially sent a car to pick him up. He was far away carrying a travel bag and leaned against the car window to watch the night outside.
The rehabilitation center is a small garden in a villa area. It is well-decorated. When you enter, you put on uniforms to make it easier for nurses to identify. All mobile phones must be handed over for safekeeping, so as to avoid interruptions in contact with the outside world.
Yuan Yuan lived in a VIP ward and spent fourteen days in it.
The slides flickered in his pretty pupils.
"Drink the drink on your left," the nurse reminded.
Yuan Yuan subconsciously picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Have another drink."
Far away took a sip.
Nurse: "Drink some more..."
"How do you feel now? Good... take a break."
"What are these two men doing? Answer in words, have another drink, okay."
"Dr. Huang asked you to answer the question, would you like to do a questionnaire now?"
"93 points."
"What's your gut feeling about men right now? Okay..."
"Let's look at this picture..."
“Have a drink…”
Fourteen days later, Yuan Yuan used the key to open the door. Tan Ruikang fell asleep on the dining table with a cup of coffee and a stack of contracts in front of him, and woke up immediately.
"You're back?" Tan Ruikang said, "Why didn't you make a phone call first?"
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "I came back and bought a ticket directly at the airport. I brought this to you and bought it at the airport." He gave Tan Ruikang a shell souvenir from Qingdao. Tan Ruikang watched it for a while, and Yuan Yuan took out another big Show him the stack of reports, with the signature of the attending physician below.
"It's cured." Yuan Yuan said, "This doctor speaks more clearly than that psychiatrist. I was just a little emotionally dislocated before, treating you as my dad."
Tan Ruikang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a distant smile, "There is a signature here. Now that it has been adjusted, everything is normal."
Tan Ruikang really put down a big stone in his heart and said, "Brother, is that so?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Yes, I have done a lot of psychological tests. In fact, I don't like men, and I don't have any sexual impulses for the same sex. You can see that each one has fourteen days, one course of treatment, fourteen tests, and the statistical scores are listed below. and explanation."
"Great." Tan Ruikang nodded and said, "Great... Let me see first, have you eaten yet?"
"Airplane meal." Yuan Yuan said.
Tan Ruikang: "Eat more, I'll cook for you."
Yuan Yuan said: "I'll do it myself. The doctor advised me not to rely too much on anyone, don't wait for someone to take care of me, and do it myself."
Tan Ruikang nodded, went in Yuan Yuan to change his pajamas, came out to cook for himself, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Tan Ruikang glanced at the clock and said, "No, let's cook two boxes of dumplings."
Tan Ruikang carefully read Yaoyao's recovery report. Yaoyao made the dumplings, brought them over, and said, "The doctor suggested that I should not be busy in falling in love and getting married in recent years, and proceed gradually."
"Well." Tan Ruikang said, "It's okay, we can just live together and take care of each other..."
Yuan Yuan said: "I will start working tomorrow."
Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "No hurry, what else did the doctor say?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Let me consult a psychiatrist on a regular basis. At the beginning, it is enough to go there once a month, chat, and gradually reduce the frequency, and it will be fine."
Tan Ruikang said, "You...you probably don't like brother now."
"Forget it!" Yuan Yuan said angrily.
Tan Ruikang laughed, Yuan Yuan was embarrassed and angry, and Tan Ruikang hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go and put this away... It's great, it's fine, it's fine."
Yuan Yuan was quiet for a while, and then took the initiative to say, "It's not a serious matter. It only takes a second to fall in love with someone, and forget someone... It won't take long, just think about it. Do you still like my sister?"
Tan Ruikang said: "I don't feel much."
Yuan Yuan snorted and said, "That's it, you're still my brother, you just don't feel that way. The way you feel about my sister now is how I feel about you."
Tan Ruikang finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded again and again, believed Yuan Yuan, and said with a smile, "That's good."
"Don't be too kind to me in the future." Yuan Yuan finished eating the dumplings, put away the plate, and threw it into the sink: "Look, I'm an adult too."
Tan Ruikang read the report absentmindedly, and put away the list after reading it.
